So this may be a bit of overkill on the button front, but I've been working on a piece for an upcoming exhibition. I had originally intended to enter my 'chips' picture, however, I tried reworking it but it just wasn't happening. So it was back to the drawing board and as I really enjoyed drawing the original buttons picture, last weekend, I decided to go with that.
this is beautiful! your drawings are amazing!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I am sitting here completely stunned with the beauty and detail of this piece. Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAndrea, this is without a doubt one of your best and you've got a great body of work! I really like this. Congrats on the exhibition! Let us know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I am continually astounded by your work, and your patience! And you enjoyed drawing all those buttons again! I would have gone crazy!!
ReplyDeleteOh it IS absolutely fantastic matted and framed--just as I knew it would be! Your choice of composition is absolutely PERFECT!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I like this composition upside down too!
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd ditched the loveheart button and my own heart sank - then I spotted its new hiding place! At first I wondered if I didn't prefer it where it was before, but on comparing the two I think the new placement might just be genius. :-)
ReplyDeleteUtterly brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteamazing as usual! :)jvm
ReplyDeleteFramed like this, it's just amazing. I think this is one of the most beautiful things that you've done. And that i've seen.
ReplyDeleteWow thank you all.
ReplyDeleteI've had a bit of a mixed week - a couple of confidence knocks and you begin to wonder if this is the right road for you. These lovely comments really have given me a boost! So thank you.
I prefer the composition of this drawing to the last sketchbook one.
EJ - I felt the position of the loveheart button in the last drawing was a little (actually a lot) contrived. I think it's better where it is.
Cheers guys, it means a lot.
Fantastic stuff. I've been admiring your blogg for some time, and it's fascinating seeing your Molskine picture translate so well into an exhibition piece. You deserve every success. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition, love the range of values.
ReplyDeleteNice.
Your drawing looks stunning in this frame. I can do nothing but admire all the detail you've patiently put into this drawing to make it exquisite. A Great piece of artwork and I wish you all the best with the exhibition and yes, please let us know how it goes..

This is absolutely stunning Andrea, I SO love it. The composition is awesome and the drawing of course is gorgeous, and it looks so great framed, I want it!!! Great news about the exhibition, and yes, let us know how things go.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I'm spechless. That's something I'd hang on my walls too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great framed--you did a beautiful framing job on it. I love the composition too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the exhibit! This is such a beautiful, fun piece that I'm sure everyone will fall in love with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm really pleased about making it into this exhibition, it's in such a great location too. Let's just hope it sells!!!
Congratulations Andrea. Your work is phenomenal! I'm so sorry that our next and last visit to London will begin several days after the Mall Gallery Show ends. Would love to have seen it in person!
ReplyDeleteSince I knew of EDM less than two months ago, I spend when possible some time wandering on the old posts. I've stopped here on your buttons but I cuold have stopped everywhere, I'm really astounded!
